Either way, until I report success, I'd be willing to paypal whoever gets it working $25 as a reward if they compile a kext, or figure out something so its usable.

UPDATE: Using AppleRAIDCard.kext,I can get it to do SOMETHING... unfortunately, that something still doesn't include working....a bit further editing, and it shows up under parallel SCSI in system profiler...SCSI Parallel Domain 0:

Initiator Identifier: 0

Yeah, its still not much. I wish I had a G5 with PCIe slots or something to play with.... then I could see if megaraid.kext would run it with a deviceID edit.

Hey Vlad,

I know what you mean.

i've been working on a solution for my Dell PERC 5/i expandable raid card (LSI megaraid 8408E is OEM) ive flashed it with the latest LSI firmware and on windows it runs like a charm on those LSI drivers.

i've tried the same things as you have, only the Appleraid.kext gives me a result.
the good thing is that i can see it now LSPCI. so mac "sees" the card.
i'm gonna try to combine Applefusion , Megaraid, Appleraidcard and LSIUltra320.kext see if i can get things started up a little bit.
if that doesn't work than my next step is building a driver from scratch using Xcode.

could you post me your progress.
there has to be an option to fix this and help others,
maybe we exchange some findings on this subject.

Any luck with this? I'm trying to get an actual 8408E working...

Anyone had any luck with this?

I have an adaptec 29160n I use for connecting my DAT 72 autoloader but with no OSX support for adaptec cards I am looking at buying a iomega rev if I can't find a supported card. I don't want to give up using tape for archiving if I can and know of a good priced SCSI 320-2e.

Yes. I tried too very much but nothing happen. I checked the IOReg and understand that we need an Injector or a EFI String for this Raid Controller :
